This week the hosts are reviewing the origins of the Parasite with the season 1 episode “Feeding Time.” Cal and Liam discuss a plot that’s fun but not without a few holes, stunning visuals with some horror-esque undertones, yet another case for the importance of the release of individual series soundtracks and a voice cast with a sound-alike comparison to a famous comedian. Plus the hosts give a full scorecard and reveal what episode they’ll be reviewing next week! All on this week’s DCAU Review!

Wrapping up another month’s worth of Batman Beyond, the Good Brothers tackle one final episode entitled “Eyewitness”, where the relationship between the new Batman and the old Batgirl comes to a head. Cal and Liam discuss just how much enjoyment can come from an episode when the tension has been spoiled, more love for the Mad Stan character, why this episode may have deserved to have been a 2-part episode, further appeals for the soundtrack to be released, a tough discussion with regards to the episode’s rewatchability and a discussion on the transition from traditional to digital animation. Many more topics are covered and a preview for which series will be featured in the month of June on today’s new DCAU Review!

It’s another Bonus Episode, just in time for your Monday morning! Cal & Liam review “Mentors Part 1 & 2” which is Issue 2, Chapter 3 & 4 of Batman: The Adventures Continue comic series.

It’s Episode 107 of the DCAU Review and the Good Brothers are covering one of their favorite episodes in all of the DC Animated Universe, the Batman Beyond episode “Terry’s Friend Dates a Robot.” Discussions include the absolute absurd plot co-written by a DCAU legend including how a high school would allow a brand new mystery student on campus without any sort of questioning, one line of dialogue that our hosts believe could be the funniest in DCAU history, another plea for WB to release the Batman Beyond soundtrack and a special segment in honor of this week’s episode title. Plus the hosts talk a special voice cast cameo and preview next week’s episode on today’s all-new DCAU Review!

Initially slated to be a single-review episode, Cal & Liam called an audible and decided to bring forth a Giant-Size Double Feature on this week’s DCAU Review, tackling both Batman Beyond episodes “Revenant” and “Babel.” Truly a tale of two episodes as both feature returning villains, the Good Brothers discuss the shortcomings of another Willie Watt centric episode, a lackluster culmination to the final battle between Terry and Willie, an homage to another classic Spider-Man visual and a why one host is happy that this is the last appearance for this villain. Moving on two the second episode our hosts discuss fantastic visuals in Shriek’s return, Batman vs. zoo animals, why this episode feels like the passing of the Bat-mantle, discovering more about the future Batmobile’s capabilities, using traditional Batman-villain tropes in a new effective way, a trilogy of scenes where the voice acting is incredibly powerful and a soundtrack that brings back the classic Batman themes. Plus, the hosts have scorecards for both episodes and an exciting look at next week’s episode and more on this week’s all-new DCAU Review!

Continuing their month of Batman Beyond reviews, the Good Brothers discuss the episode “Mind Games” which has a few connections to other DCAU shows as well as nods to other comic universes. The hosts discuss in detail the mid-episode battle versus the end battle, the unclear nature of some of the villains’ powers, a soundtrack that impresses and the most visually striking scene of the entire episode. Plus a preview of next week’s episode and much more on this week’s all-new edition of the DCAU Review!
